 ### Create a pool of compute nodes
 
-To create a Batch pool, the app uses the [PoolAddParameter](/python/api/azure-batch/azure.batch.models.pooladdparameter) class to set the number of nodes, VM size, and pool configuration. The following [VirtualMachineConfiguration](/python/api/azure-batch/azure.batch.models.virtualmachineconfiguration) object specifies an [ImageReference](/python/api/azure-batch/azure.batch.models.imagereference) to an Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS Azure Marketplace image. Batch supports a wide range of Linux and Windows Server Marketplace images, and also supports custom VM images.

 The `POOL_NODE_COUNT` and `POOL_VM_SIZE` are defined constants. The app creates a pool of two size Standard_DS1_v2 nodes. This size offers a good balance of performance versus cost for this quickstart.
